130i Ignition Coil

smilebrian · 03-09-2013, 11:24 PM

Can anyone help with advice on correct ignition coils for a 12/2006 pre facelift 130i please?

I purchased Bosch coils - part no. 0221504470 which matched BMW part no. 12137594937. My mechanic fitted them but said car only ran on 3 cylinders!!! Put old coils back in and all was good.

The coils in the car are original and have a different part no. but real oem has it as superseded by the Bosch coils I purchased.

Anyone replaced coils on a pre facelift 130i and can advise part no. That would be appreciated!

if you put old coils in and the cylinders ran fine, why are you swapping them?

ED:

12137571643
or
12137551049

but 12137594937 would be the only part bosch would make these days.

sounds like dodgy coils were purchased?

if they fit, they're the right part, pretty much.

When I accelerate under load, occasionally I get a noticeable hesitation. I thought this could be down to a faulty coil so decided to replace them. I'll try the new ones again to double check, every list/catalogue I've read suggests the coils I've bought are the correct part that superseded the original coils.
